  19. Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) Gives producers a one-time option to choose a revenue-based counter-cyclical payment program, starting in 2009 Producers choose between the current stable of programs or ACRE Producers choosing ACRE agree to 20% decline in direct payments and 30% decline in loan rates

  20. ACRE Program has state and farm trigger levels, both must be met before payments are made Expected state and farm yield based on 5 year Olympic average yields per planted acre ACRE price guarantee is the 2 year average of the national season-average price

  21. ACRE Structure ACRE revenue guarantee = 90% of ACRE price guarantee * Expected state yield ACRE actual revenue = Max(Season-average price, Loan rate) * Actual state yield per planted acre Farm revenue trigger = Expected farm yield * ACRE price guarantee + Producer-paid crop insurance premium

  22. ACRE Payments Payment rate = Min(ACRE revenue guarantee – ACRE actual revenue, 25% * ACRE revenue guarantee) Payments made on 83.3% of planted acres in 2009-11, 85% in 2012 (up to total base) ACRE payment adjustment: Payment multiplied by ratio of Expected farm yield to Expected state yield
